Chanwoong Baek 
Class of 2012
Hometown: South Korea
As someone who has benefited from the advantages of education, I wish to share my knowledge with as many people as possible. I love to meet new people and exchange thoughts. People learn throughout their lives, and I want to be a person who inspires others to explore academically and socially. I wish to take the encouragement I received from the Bowdoin Education Department, and pass it on.

Hometown: Asheville, NC
Major: English
Minor: Teaching
Over the second half of my Bowdoin career, I'm hoping to work even more closely with the wonderful people in the Education Department as I complete a minor in Teaching with an aim towards earning my Teachers' Certification and teaching English in a high school. I will also be spending a semester abroad in Chile, studying the effects of the education system on disparate social groups and how the education system in that nation has brought about broader changes in Chilean society.

Lindsey Thompson
Class of 2010
Major: Mathematics
Minor: Teaching
I am not entirely sure where my study of education will lead me. Some days I see myself becoming a teacher and striving to live up to my ridiculously high expectations; other days I dream of opening up a school that somehow manages to conquer the many inevitable problems that will be encountered. Regardless of the direction my life takes, however, my courses in education have forced me to reexamine my experiences and my perspectives more broadly—I have started questioning how and what I learn and recognizing how much of who I am is formed by my educative experiences both in and outside the classroom. This understanding will undoubtedly follow me through life and continue to shape the way I look at and interact with the world around me, and it is this aspect of the study of education that I find most crucial to my Bowdoin experience.
